This is to provide the existing behaviour as a fallback. Some SoCs have
a complex clock providing the baud rate clock (HiKey 960, FSL LS2080a),
which U-Boot doesn't suport. I'd rather not break them, but also don't
really want to provide a clock driver ;-)

Also this mimics the !DM_SERIAL behaviour, which sets this clock rate
based on Kconfig, again as a fallback. I needed that because I think the
clock driver wasn't ready that early. It's a bit hard to confirm without
serial output ;-)

So the order should be:
- If there is a clocks property and we support that clock provider
(fixed-clock), then use that value.
- If not, check for a "clock" property in the DT node and use that value.
- If there is no "clock property", use the Kconfig variable.

Just written the other way around in the code.

Does this make sense?

Cheers,
Andre.
